Super Smash Bros. fans have been putting up “apology messages” to Nintendo and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai to apologize for the leaks, as well as people who are illegally playing pirated copies of the game. These messages have went viral on social media.

Keep in mind that Sakurai is not the only developer who overworks themselves to the point of exhaustion. This is a very common thing in video game development and should be more known about. He's a great person, yes but he's one of many victims of game development.

"people are mad because people are playing the game early"thats happened with literally every main series pokemon game since 2011and botw.and odyssey.and the superstar saga remake.and fire emblem shadows of valentia.and metroid samus returns.this happens all the time.

Some Smash Bros. fans argued that Pokemon Let’s GO Pikachu/Eevee is a remake of the original Pokemon Yellow, so there’s nothing much to be spoiled. On the other hand, Pokemon fans may say that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is just a fighting game and there’s nothing to be upset about the original soundtrack leaking two weeks in advance.
